PEORIA, Ill. -- Bradley Women's Basketball fans will need no introduction to the newest member of the coaching staff with fourth-year head coach Andrea Gorski announcing former Braves standout Leti Lerma will return to The Hilltop as the team's Video Coordinator/Assistant Director of Basketball Operations.

Since graduating from Bradley in May 2017, Lerma has spent the past two seasons playing professionally both for the St. Louis Surge of the Global Women's Basketball Association in addition to playing overseas with CSU Alba Iulia (Romania).

"We are excited that Leti is returning to The Hilltop and our basketball program," said Gorski. "She was one of the hardest workers and fiercest competitors that I have ever had the pleasure of coaching. We know she will bring that same energy and enthusiasm in her new role. Both the coaching staff and players are looking forward to welcoming her back."

Lerma was First-Team All-Missouri Valley Conference selection as a senior in 2016-17 during Gorski's first season as head coach, becoming the first Brave in nearly a decade to earn the honor, and was also a MVC All-Defensive Team selection. Bradley's career rebounding leader, she pulled down what was then a Bradley season-record 324 boards during her final season. Lerma was 12th in the nation in rebounds per game as a senior (10.8 rpg) and was 10th in offensive boards per outing that same year.

The Muscatine, Iowa, native was one of four players in the nation and the first in the MVC since 2011-12 to collect 350 points, 320 rebounds, 65 assists, 15 blocks and 40 or more steals, turning in 13 double-doubles when she averaged 11.7 points and 10.8 rebounds per game as a senior.

Following her graduation, Lerma served as color commentator for ESPN3 broadcasts of Bradley Women's Basketball games along with working as part of the Bradley Athletics Marketing team, where she assisted with video and graphic design projects.

Lerma will handle the team's video elements in addition to supporting the staff's social media and administrative duties.
